‘Full House’ Star Dave Coulier Reveals 45-Pound Weight Loss Amid Cancer Battle
Dave Coulier has opened up about the toll that his recent cancer treatments have taken on his body, disclosing a significant weight loss of 45 pounds and his inability to consume solid food for several months.
In a video shared on Instagram, fans quickly noticed the changes in his appearance and voice. Coulier explained that these alterations were a result of the radiation treatment he underwent for throat cancer.
He stated, “I haven’t posted in quite a while, and the last time I did some of you said that I look differently and I sound differently, and I do.”
Coulier elaborated on the reasons behind his drastic transformation, saying, “What you’re seeing is the side effects of extensive radiation that I went through for carcinoma in my throat.”
The ‘Full House’ star also discussed the challenges he faces with eating during his recovery, sharing, “I haven’t been able to eat solid food in months, and so I’ve lost 45 pounds. That’s what you’re seeing, and it’s affected my ability to speak.”
Coulier noted that this health struggle follows multiple cancer diagnoses over the last two years. He first disclosed in 2024 that he had stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma, followed by a diagnosis of HPV-related oropharyngeal tongue cancer.
Despite the challenging treatments, Coulier shared some positive updates regarding his recovery, stating that recent PET scans yielded encouraging results.
He explained, “We got our PET scans back, and the prognosis looks good for both the carcinoma in my throat and the lymphoma. So we’re very pleased with all of that.”
Earlier this year, Coulier announced that he is now in remission from both cancers. However, he admitted that the experience continues to impact him mentally and emotionally.
In a recent appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, Coulier reflected on how his lifestyle may have contributed to his health issues. He mentioned that he began examining everyday products and habits after his diagnosis.
“I wanted to know, ‘Why did my lymphatic system crash?’” he said. “And I realized as I went down the rabbit hole, everything in my life was toxic.”
He added, “I said, ‘I need to change this, but how do I do it?’” explaining that he started implementing small lifestyle changes step by step.
